Sackur–Tetrode equation: Difference between revisions

The Sackur–Tetrode equation provides the entropy ( $S$ ) of an ideal gas (classical). It is given by

S=Nk_{B}\ln \left[\left({\frac {2\pi mk_{B}T}{h^{2}}}\right)^{3/2}{\frac {k_{B}T}{p}}\exp(5/2)\right]

where $k_{B}$ is the Boltzmann constant, $T$ is the temperature, $p$ is the pressure, $m$ is the mass of the gas particle, $N$ is the numer of particles and $h$ is the Planck constant.
